Unique story, great friendships and atypical romances
I started this drama for Jang Ki Yong after seeing him on Born Again and Come and Hug Me. I love the roles he usually plays, characters that are warm but would come off as a psychopath, which is sort of how he is here. Woo Yeo is a Gumiho whose goal is to be a human, and litterally the only thing stopping him is his lack of human emotion. I also loved Hyeri in Reply 1988, her role here was just as lovable and maybe even funnier.
I LOVED the second lead. I had such bad second lead syndrome in this drama. The first half of Sun Woo's story was like any other American drama/move where the "player"/"badboy" makes a bet to make a girl go out with him and/or fall for him, and then ends up being the one to fall for her. Though, here, it's far less cringe. This being a Kdrama and all, where he is the second lead, it's predictable where his storyline would go. He's not ending up with the lead, no matter how much I shipped them, especially after the red string of fate connected them. Sun Woo and Lee Dam's story was great on it's own, and so damn sweet in an atypical way that I couldn't help but ship them, maybe even more than I shipped Lee Dam and Woo Yeo (the ML).
My favourite thing about this drama was all the friendships. Lee Dam and Jae Jin had a sibling like relationship, absolutely no one would consider their relationship to be anything more. The same goes for Woo Yeo and Hye Sun's (the SFL) relationship. This made the friendship and relationships of all the main characters very uncomplicated and made them more of a family then they already were.
